Rabbi Fred J. Neulander's sordid tale of adultery and murder will be told again, this time on NBC's Dateline, which airs at 8 tonight.

Dateline's hourlong segment about the religious leader-turned wife-killer includes an interview with the rabbi's oldest son, Dr. Matthew Neulander.

Matthew Neulander, who lives in Charlotte, N.C., and has a 1-year-old daughter, testified against his father at both trials.

In November, Fred J. Neulander, 61, the former senior rabbi at Congregation M'kor Shalom in Cherry Hill, was convicted of capital murder, felony murder and conspiracy for hiring two men to kill his wife, Carol, on Nov. 1, 1994. The rabbi had his wife killed so he could continue an affair with a member of his congregation, prosecutors said.

Matthew Neulander admits that for years he believed his father was innocent, even after his arrest in 1998. He was finally convinced of his father's guilt when he watched the rabbi testify during his first murder trial in Camden in 2001. That trial ended with the jury deadlocked.

"I watched the man who claimed to be the bastion of truth and honesty throughout his career lie, lie, lie," Matthew Neulander said. "It was a light bulb moment when I just said, `You know what, there doesn't need to be any doubt anymore.' "

He also tells Dateline that at no time was he more angry with his father than when the rabbi pleaded with the 12 Monmouth County jurors who had convicted him not to execute him. Neulander ended up getting 30 years to life in prison.

"I can't remember moments of more anger, rage and disgust than as I sat there and I listened to this man have the nerve to eulogize her," Matthew Neulander said. "I am ashamed to be related to him. I am just ashamed to share his last name."

When the rabbi was sentenced in January, Matthew Neulander submitted a letter to the court in which he called his father a "vicious and evil person."

Neulander will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars at New Jersey State Prison in Trenton. He is not eligible for parole until June 20, 2030. Neulander has filed a notice of intent to appeal his guilty verdict in the case.

In April, ABC aired an hour-long special in which Barbara Walters interviewed the rabbi at the prison. Neulander, as he did during his sentencing and testimony during his first trial in Camden, professed his innocence. The Camden trial in the fall of 2001 ended in a hung jury.

The entire eight-year saga of Carol Neulander's murder is also examined in the recently published book The Rabbi and the Hit Man by Arthur Magida.

Confessed hit men Leonard Jenoff and Paul Michael Daniels, are both serving 23-year prison sentences for their role in Carol Neulander's murder. Jenoff was also interviewed for the Dateline piece.
